ModbusRTU and ModbusIP Master-Slave Library for ESP8266/ESP32 v3.0

If this project is helpful for your projects you can support it by a glass of beer

Release state: DEVELOPMENT

Visit Releases page for stable one.

This library allows your ESP8266/ESP32 to communicate via Modbus protocol. The Modbus is a master-slave protocol used in industrial automation and can be used in other areas, such as home automation.

The Modbus generally uses serial RS-232 or RS-485 as physical layer (then called Modbus Serial) and TCP/IP via Ethernet or WiFi (Modbus IP).

In the current version the library allows the ESP8266/ESP32 operate as a master and/or slave, supporting Modbus IP via wireless network and Modbus RTU over serial. For more information about Modbus see:

Notes

The offsets for registers are 0-based. So be careful when setting your supervisory system or your testing software. For example, in ScadaBR offsets are 0-based, then, a register configured as 100 in the library is set to 100 in ScadaBR. On the other hand, in the CAS Modbus Scanner offsets are 1-based, so a register configured as 100 in library should be 101 in this software.
For API refer API.md
Modbus RTU maximum incoming frame size is determinated by HardwareSerial buffer size. For SoftwareSerial buffer must be set to 256 bytes.
Probably it's possible to use ModbusRTU with other AVR boards using from ArduinoSTL.
RS-485 transivers based on MAX-485 is working on at least up to 115200. XY-017/XY-485 working only up to 9600 for some reason.

+ multiple callbacks => memory usage optimization
+ added removeOnSetCoil\... methods
+ added read/write/push/pullCoil/Hreg/Ireg/Ists() parameter to specify Modbus unit id
+ added ability to auto connect to slave. Setting is global. Disabled by default.
